To learn how Muay Thai training will help you meet your goals, check out this overview of the fundamentals of this practice:

Physical Training 

imageOften called “The Science of Eight Limbs,” Muay Thai makes use of hands, elbows, knees, and shins, giving the practitioner eight points of contact to work with. Training involves hitting focus mitts, Thai pads, or heavy bags, simultaneously building strength and learning how to effectively use varied techniques. Classes at 914 Krav Maga also include sparring drills, resulting in a fun, never-boring workout that will leave you in amazing shape.

Mental Fortitude

Muay Thai is a mental art as well as a physical one. For starters, the focus required for effective practice helps you separate yourself from the outside world, bringing welcome balance to your life. The discipline you’ll develop will trickle into every aspect of your life, helping you achieve higher goals. By cultivating the ability to maintain equilibrium and focus, Muay Thai training and sparring helps strengthen the mind as well as the body. You’ll find your life changes as you learn to handle situations more calmly and effectively.
